text-indent: 18pt; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt;">External impacts to the Company’s operating environment – The Company’s operating results have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and other macroeconomic conditions.  During 2021, the Company’s business began recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic, but the Company continued to see negative impacts on the Company’s sales and traffic as a result of both changes in consumer behavior and federal, state and local governmental authorities’ continuation of various restrictions on travel, group gatherings and dine-in services.  Dining room service was operational to varying degrees, yet most locations were impacted at times by capacity restrictions, social distancing guidelines, and decreased consumer demand for in-person dining.  In 2022, the Company continued to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic; however, the Company believes outbreaks of new variants adversely impacted consumer demand in 2022.  While the Company’s dining rooms operated without COVID-related restrictions in 2023, it is possible that renewed outbreaks, increases in cases and/or new variants of the disease, either as part of a national trend or on a more localized basis, could result in COVID-19-related restrictions including capacity restrictions or otherwise limit the Company’s dine-in services, or negatively affect consumer demand.  In 2023 and 2022, the Company experienced inflationary conditions with respect to the cost for food, ingredients, retail merchandise, transportation, distribution, labor and utilities resulting, in part, from economic pressures related to the COVID-19 pandemic.</div> <div style="display:none;"><br/></div> <div style="text-align: left;

In accordance with accounting guidance on embedded conversion features indexed to and settled in equity, the Company valued and bifurcated the conversion option associated with the Notes from the respective host debt instrument. The carrying amount of the equity is recorded as a debt discount and represents the difference between the proceeds from the issuance of the Notes and the fair value of the liability component of the Notes. The significant assumptions used in the fair value of the liability component of the Notes were risk-free rate, discount rate based on the Company’s implied credit spread and term of the Notes, expected volatility of the Company’s stock price and dividend yield. The resulting debt discount on the Notes is amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the contractual term of the Notes. In addition, the debt issuance costs related to the issuance of the Notes were allocated between the liability and equity components based on their relative values. Debt issuance costs attributable to the liability component were recorded as a contra-liability and are presented net against the Notes balance on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. These costs are amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the Notes.</div> <div style="display:none;"><br/></div> <div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 18pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt;"> <br/> </div> <div style="display:none;"><br/></div> <div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 18pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt;"> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 10pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: justify; text-indent: 24px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; display: inline ! important; float: none;">Due to the Company’s adoption of new accounting guidance for convertible instruments on July 31, 2021, the Company no longer bifurcates the Notes into a liability and an equity component in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Upon adoption of this new accounting guidance, the Notes are accounted for entirely as a liability, and the issuance costs of the Notes are accounted for wholly as debt issuance costs. The equity conversion feature that was recorded to equity, as well as the unamortized debt discount and amortization expense attributable to equity, have been derecognized.</span></div> <div><br/> </div> <div style="display:none;"><br/></div> <div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 18pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-transform: none;">D</span><span style="display: inline; float: none; letter-spacing: normal; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-align: justify; text-indent: 24px; text-transform: none;"><span style="font-weight: normal; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 10pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-transform: none;">e</span>rivative instruments and hedging activities – The Company is exposed to market risk, such as changes in interest rates and commodity prices.  The Company has interest rate risk relative to its outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility (see Note 4).  The Company’s policy has been to manage interest cost using a mix of fixed and variable rate debt.  To manage this risk in a cost-efficient manner, prior to 2022, the Company used derivative instruments, specifically interest rate swaps.  In the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company terminated all of its interest rate swaps and issued the Notes (see discussion above under “Convertible Senior Notes” and Note 5 for further information).</span></div> <div><br/> </div> <div style="display:none;"><br/></div> <div style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-align: justify; text-indent: 18pt; text-transform: none;"><span style="font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: justify; text-indent: 24px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; display: inline ! important; float: none;">Prior to the termination of the interest rate swaps in the fourth quarter of 2021, all of the Company’s interest rate swaps were accounted for as cash flow hedges.  For derivative instruments that were designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative instrument was reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period during which the hedged transaction affected earnings and was presented in the same statement of income line item as the earnings effect of the hedged item.

No revenue is recognized in connection with the point-of-sale transaction when gift cards or gift certificates are sold.

A certain number of gift cards will not be fully redeemed. Management estimates unredeemed balances and recognizes gift card breakage revenue for these amounts in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income over the expected redemption period.  Gift card breakage is recognized when the likelihood of a gift card being redeemed by the customer is remote and the Company determines that there is not a legal obligation to remit the unredeemed gift card balance to the relevant jurisdiction.  The determination of the gift card breakage rate is based upon the Company’s specific historical redemption patterns. The Company recognizes gift card breakage by applying its estimate of the rate of gift card breakage over the period of estimated redemption.  For 2023, 2022 and 2021, gift card breakage was $10,713, $9,572, and $6,349, respectively.  Revenue recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income for 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively, for the redemption of gift cards which were included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of the fiscal year was $40,103, $42,169, and $42,266, respectively.  Deferred revenue related to the Company’s gift cards was $88,566 and $93,569, respectively, at July 28, 2023 and July 29, 2022.</div> <div style="text-align: left; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt;"> </div> <div style="display:none;"><br/></div> <div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 18pt; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt;">Insurance – The Company self-insures a significant portion of its workers’ compensation and general liability programs.  The Company purchases insurance for individual workers’ compensation claims that exceed $750 or $1,000 depending on the state in which the claim originates.  The Company purchases insurance for individual general liability claims that exceed $500.</div> <div style="display:none;"><br/></div> <div style="text-align: left; text-indent: 18pt; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br/> </div> <div style="display:none;"><br/></div> <div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 18pt; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt;">The Company records a reserve for workers’ compensation and general liability for all unresolved claims and for an estimate of incurred but not reported claims (“IBNR”).  These reserves and estimates of IBNR claims are based upon a full scope actuarial study which is performed annually at the end of the Company’s third quarter and is adjusted by the actuarially determined losses and actual claims payments for the fourth quarter.  Additionally, the Company performs limited scope actuarial studies on a quarterly basis to verify and/or modify the Company’s reserves. The reserves and losses in the actuarial study represent a range of possible outcomes within which no given estimate is more likely than any other estimate.  As such, the Company records the losses at the lower half of that range and discounts them to present value using a risk-free interest rate based on projected timing of payments.

Common equivalent shares related to nonvested stock awards and units issued by the Company are calculated using the treasury stock method.  The outstanding nonvested stock awards and units issued by the Company represent the only dilutive effects on diluted consolidated net income per share. Prior to the adoption of new accounting guidance for convertible instruments in 2022, the Company’s convertible senior notes and related warrants were calculated using the treasury stock method.  Beginning in 2022, the convertible senior notes and related warrants are calculated using the net share settlement option under the if-converted method.  Because the principal amount of the convertible senior notes will be settled in cash with any excess conversion value settled in cash or shares of common stock, the convertible senior notes have been excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because the average market price of the Company’s common stock during the reporting period did not exceed the conversion price of $169.80 as of July 28, 2023. Warrants were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share since the warrants’ strike price of $237.73 was greater than the average market price of the Company’s common stock during the period.

however, the Company believes outbreaks of new variants adversely impacted consumer demand in 2022.  While the Company’s dining rooms operated without COVID-related restrictions in 2023, it is possible that renewed outbreaks, increases in cases and/or new variants of the disease, either as part of a national trend or on a more localized basis, could result in COVID-19-related restrictions including capacity restrictions or otherwise limit the Company’s dine-in services, or negatively affect consumer demand.  In 2023 and 2022, the Company experienced inflationary conditions with respect to the cost for food, ingredients, retail merchandise, transportation, distribution, labor and utilities resulting, in part, from economic pressures related to the COVID-19 pandemic.</div> <div style="display:none;"><br/></div> <div style="text-align: justify;

In accordance with accounting guidance on embedded conversion features indexed to and settled in equity, the Company valued and bifurcated the conversion option associated with the Notes from the respective host debt instrument. The carrying amount of the equity is recorded as a debt discount and represents the difference between the proceeds from the issuance of the Notes and the fair value of the liability component of the Notes. The significant assumptions used in the fair value of the liability component of the Notes were risk-free rate, discount rate based on the Company’s implied credit spread and term of the Notes, expected volatility of the Company’s stock price and dividend yield. The resulting debt discount on the Notes is amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the contractual term of the Notes. In addition, the debt issuance costs related to the issuance of the Notes were allocated between the liability and equity components based on their relative values. Debt issuance costs attributable to the liability component were recorded as a contra-liability and are presented net against the Notes balance on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. These costs are amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the Notes.</div> <div style="display:none;"><br/></div> <div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 18pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt;"> <br/> </div> <div style="display:none;"><br/></div> <div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 18pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt;"> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 10pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: justify; text-indent: 24px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; display: inline ! important; float: none;">Due to the Company’s adoption of new accounting guidance for convertible instruments on July 31, 2021, the Company no longer bifurcates the Notes into a liability and an equity component in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

No revenue is recognized in connection with the point-of-sale transaction when gift cards or gift certificates are sold. Any amounts remitted to states under escheat or similar laws reduce the Company’s deferred revenue liability and have no effect on revenue or expense while any amounts that the Company is permitted to retain are recorded as revenue.  See “Revenue recognition” section in this Note for information regarding breakage.</div> <div style="display:none;"><br/></div> <div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 18pt; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt;">Revenue recognition – Revenue consists primarily of sales from restaurant and retail operations.  The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a restaurant guest, retail customer or other customer.  The Company recognizes revenues from restaurant sales when payment is tendered at the point of sale, as the Company’s performance obligation to provide food and beverages is satisfied.  The Company recognizes revenues from retail sales when payment is tendered at the point of sale, as the Company’s performance obligation to provide merchandise is satisfied.  Ecommerce sales, including shipping revenue, are recorded upon delivery to the customer.  Additionally, the Company provides for estimated returns based on return history and sales levels.  The Company’s policy is to present sales in the Consolidated Statements of Income on a net presentation basis after deducting sales tax.</div> <div><br/> </div> <div style="display:none;"><br/></div> <div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 18pt; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt;">Included in restaurant and retail revenue is gift card breakage.  Customer purchases of gift cards, to be utilized at the Company’s stores, are not recognized as sales until the card is redeemed and the customer purchases food and/or merchandise.  Gift cards do not carry an expiration date; therefore, customers can redeem their gift cards indefinitely. A certain number of gift cards will not be fully redeemed. Management estimates unredeemed balances and recognizes gift card breakage revenue for these amounts in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income over the expected redemption period.  Gift card breakage is recognized when the likelihood of a gift card being redeemed by the customer is remote and the Company determines that there is not a legal obligation to remit the unredeemed gift card balance to the relevant jurisdiction.  The determination of the gift card breakage rate is based upon the Company’s specific historical redemption patterns. The Company recognizes gift card breakage by applying its estimate of the rate of gift card breakage over the period of estimated redemption.  For 2023, 2022 and 2021, gift card breakage was $10,713, $9,572, and $6,349, respectively.  Revenue recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income for 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively, for the redemption of gift cards which were included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of the fiscal year was $40,103, $42,169, and $42,266, respectively.  Deferred revenue related to the Company’s gift cards was $88,566 and $93,569, respectively, at July 28, 2023 and July 29, 2022.</div> 10713000 9572000 6349000 40103000 42169000 42266000 88566000 93569000 <div style="display:none;"><br/></div> <div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 18pt; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt;">Insurance – The Company self-insures a significant portion of its workers’ compensation and general liability programs.  The Company purchases insurance for individual workers’ compensation claims that exceed $750 or $1,000 depending on the state in which the claim originates.  The Company purchases insurance for individual general liability claims that exceed $500.</div> <div style="display:none;"><br/></div> <div style="text-align: left; text-indent: 18pt; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br/> </div> <div style="display:none;"><br/></div> <div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 18pt; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt;">The Company records a reserve for workers’ compensation and general liability for all unresolved claims and for an estimate of incurred but not reported claims (“IBNR”).  These reserves and estimates of IBNR claims are based upon a full scope actuarial study which is performed annually at the end of the Company’s third quarter and is adjusted by the actuarially determined losses and actual claims payments for the fourth quarter.  Additionally, the Company performs limited scope actuarial studies on a quarterly basis to verify and/or modify the Company’s reserves. The reserves and losses in the actuarial study represent a range of possible outcomes within which no given estimate is more likely than any other estimate.  As such, the Company records the losses at the lower half of that range and discounts them to present value using a risk-free interest rate based on projected timing of payments.

Restaurant leases typically have base terms of ten years with four to five optional renewal periods of five years each.  The Company uses a lease life that generally begins on the commencement date, including the rent holiday periods, and generally extends through certain renewal periods that can be exercised at the Company’s option.  During rent holiday periods, which include the pre-opening period during construction, the Company has possession of and access to the property, but is not obligated to, and normally does not, make rent payments.   The Company has included lease renewal options in the lease term for calculations of the right-of-use asset and liability for which at the commencement of the lease it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise those renewal options.  Additionally, some of the leases have contingent rent provisions and others require adjustments for inflation or index.   Contingent rent is determined as a percentage of gross sales in excess of specified levels. The Company records a contingent rent liability and corresponding rent expense when it is probable sales have been achieved in amounts in excess of the specified levels.  The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants<span style="font-size: 10pt;

Common equivalent shares related to nonvested stock awards and units issued by the Company are calculated using the treasury stock method.  The outstanding nonvested stock awards and units issued by the Company represent the only dilutive effects on diluted consolidated net income per share. Prior to the adoption of new accounting guidance for convertible instruments in 2022, the Company’s convertible senior notes and related warrants were calculated using the treasury stock method.  Beginning in 2022, the convertible senior notes and related warrants are calculated using the net share settlement option under the if-converted method.  Because the principal amount of the convertible senior notes will be settled in cash with any excess conversion value settled in cash or shares of common stock, the convertible senior notes have been excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because the average market price of the Company’s common stock during the reporting period did not exceed the conversion price of $169.80 as of July 28, 2023. Warrants were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share since the warrants’ strike price of $237.73 was greater than the average market price of the Company’s common stock during the period.

For operating leases that commenced prior to the date of adoption of the new lease accounting guidance, the Company used the incremental borrowing rate as of the adoption date.  Assumptions used in determining the Company’s incremental borrowing rate include the Company’s implied credit rating and an estimate of secured borrowing rates based on comparable market data.</span></div> <div><br/></div> <div style="display:none;"><br/></div> <div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 18pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt;">The Company has entered into agreements for real estate leases that are not recorded as right-of-use assets or lease liabilities as it has not yet taken possession.
